On Honesty

Fidget, the 7-year old, is constantly trying to get Mini-Me, the 5-year old, to play board or card games with him. His standards for participation are very low, as evidenced from this conversation that I overheard yesterday:

Fidget: Hey, Mini-Me, will you play Christmas SNAP with me?Mini-Me: No, I don’t want to play. I’m no good at that game Fidget: You won on Saturday when we played! You are good!Mini-Me: Yeah, but that’s just because I was cheating a lot.

First, don’t judge me because my kids are playing Christmas-themed card games in March. It’s just as fun when it’s not Christmas. Second, I apologize to the world for raising a Cheaty McCheaterson. But cheater though he may be, he clearly can’t lie about it… so that’s something of a win for me.
